How to Train Pet Dogs.

"Lots of people who own dogs de-
sire TO train their pets, but they doSt
understand how,r said a well-knOwn
dog fancier to New York reporter.
"Yes, there are some rules about it.
For instance, the training should be
begun, if possible, when the dog is a
puppy, and about four months old, and
the lessons should always be given in a
quiet place with no one present but
the teacher. In the training of your
dog you should remember that you
must endeavor to make him bend to
your will by kindness, at the same
time being firm and decided in all
that you do. Use the whip sparingly,
and never use it in anger. To teach
him to lead place string of about six
or eight feet in length around his neck.
The dog will endeavor to release him
self, and you must stand still until he
has ceased his struggles. This will
teach him that he cannot get away,
and then you can teach him to come
to you. Stand off the length of the
string, and say, Come, or Come here,
using the same word or words every
time, so as not to confuse him.
When calling him at the same time
pulling on the string gently. He will
soon comprehend the meaning and
obey whenever the words are used.
When giving the lesson always pet and
caress the dog whenever he does as
you wish. 1t is also'advisable to teach
him at this time by some word or ges-
ture, which will indicate that his
study hour is over. To teach him to
go or stop, place yourself in or near
some place where you know he de-
sires to go, and say Co. urging him
on by calling. When he has gone part
of the distance, call, Stop at the
same time pulling on the string and
repeating the command. With patience
and kindness you will very soon make
him understand and be obedient. The
time required in this training varies ac-
cOrding to the sagacity of the dog,
usually being from one to two weeks.
Never let the lesson occupy more than
half an hour, and when through have
some choice morsel to give him.
Whilst making him fear you by stern
ness, teach him to attach himself to
you by kindness. To teach him to
charge or lie down. put your hand
on his back and command him to
charge at the same time placing him
in position with his head between his
forepaws. A few lessons will make
him understand.

Big Brains aad Intellect.

A current medical opinion makes
large brains and wisdom concomitant
terms, and in confederation of this
view the large brain of Cuvier, the
naturalist, weighing sixty-four ounces,
is cited. On the other hand, Gam
betta's brain only weighed thirty-four
ounces, below the alleged normal
limit. The explanation of these SEEM
ingly contradictory facts is a simple
one. Cuvier's brain weight repre-
scented, not intellect, but healed-up hy-
drocephalus, from which the natural
list suffered in childhood.
The especial value of brain weight
as gauge of intellect is shown by the
fact that an idiots brain has weighed
sixty-eight ounces. This enormous
brain weight was due to the increase
of the ependyma or barren layer, as
SpitZka has shown. Intellect hence
depends on brain quality rather than
quantity. Brains of Cuvier's size sug-
gest something pathological rather
than intellectual. The small size of a
brain by no means demonstrates a
small intellect Medical Standard.

A Carriage Makers Experience.

Wall street men are looked upon by
the sellers of good things and luxuries
as the best customers in the city. A
member of leading carriage-manu-
featuring firm, speaking of the bulls
and bears the other day, said: ut is
not the extremely wealthy man, or the
one who gets his fortune by slow ac-
emulation, who is our best patron.
The Wall street man, whose fortune
hangs on the fluctuations of the mar
ket, is the one. He is liberal and open
handed, and when he strikes it rich he
spends the money freely. When he is
on the right side of the market, and
makes haul, he wants DelmoHico
dinner, carriage, the theater, and all
the good things going. He acts re-
CARELESS of expense. When he is down,
he is clear down; when he is up, he is
away up on top. And when he gets a
carriage, he wants good one; no fix
ing over of an old one for him, no re-
furnishing, no new Innings; but he
must have brand new article, right
up in style.
"By contrast, there is customer of
ours who is reported to be worth $780,
900 900, whom we have been trying to
induce to purchase a new carriage; he
needs it, and says so; but he has not
been as fortunate in speculations as he
expected, and he feels poor / suppose
he will have the old carriage fixed up
and make it do until he makes ten
strike. Another, a S3,000,000 patron,
is running on the same line, and his
wife can't lead him to see his way
clear-to the purchase of new vehicle.
Your Wall street man, who lives on
his margins, and who is up to-day and
down tomorrow, is the best customer
of them all. He lives while he lives,
and then waits for the next wave.n

A Pathetic Incident.

A few weeks ago in this city a poor
widow died, leaving one child, little
lame boy, to the cold charities of the
world
After his mothers funeral the little
fellow was taken i'll from the combined
resulte of grief and neglect, and it was
then evident that he would soon be
united to his only friend.
He was left alone much of the day,
there being no one who could spare the
time to stay with him. 1t was often
noticed that the voices of two persons
could be heard in the little room. Bat
when those in charge entered he would
be alone and apparently asleep.
One day they listened, being quite
sure that no one was with the child,
and they overheard this strange mono
logue:
lis you rite there, mammal"
Yes, my little boy, Is rite here"
WAS you went away YETI"
Il vented back to Heaven to tell
God about my little boy"
Did you was afraid, mamma?"
mo, my own little boy, cause God
is nicer'n peoples"
did you told Him about me, man.
MAJ"
Il folded Him l had little boy
named Harry-an AM"
There was loud noise of sobbing
then, and the listener without cried
too. Presently the child's voice re-
sumed:
Did you told God to let me come
up there, mammal"
Yes, my boy, an he said 'bimeby,
bimeby.'"
Mamma, Ise-so-tired-an'-
-sleepy-an'-I want to come an stay
with-you-an'-God."
There was a long silence then,
broken by no Cry or sob. The listen
ers went in after resolving in their
hearts to be thereafter very patient
with the motherless one.
But death had been kinder than they.

A Remarkable Wedding.

A very pretty incident was as
ISOLATED with the early history of New
London, and may properly be brought
in here. 1t was related by Gov. Win
throp himself in 1872 in testifying con-
corning the boundaries in one of the
suits with its neighbors, which the
litigious and ambitious town was con-
stantly maintaining. In 1654-7 Jona-
than Rudd, Saybrook colonist, was
very DESTROYS of marrying his affianced
bride. All had been prepared for the
ceremony, but heavy snowstorm
prevented the minister engaged from
coming. In this extremity he ar,
piled to Winthrop. The latter, wksX
eager to aid the lovers, was not legally
empowered to officiate in Connecticut
jurisdiction, holding, as he did, his
authority from Massachusetts. He
solved the difficulty by proposing that
the bridal company come to Bride

miles west of Mantle bay, and the
limit of the plantation, The propo-
sition was accepted, and beside the ice-,
covered brook, with the crisp snow
cracking between their feet, and the
bare branches of the trees intercept
ing none of the feeble rays of the sun,
was performed marriage lite UNI
paralleled in romance, and yet vouched
for in history.-Neu England Mdgd-

fifteen by famine and pestileDce, and
those few were enslaved by the Indians
and soon became scattered from one
another. Alvar Nurez remained on
the island a captive for more than a
year, and was forced by his harsh mas
tiers to dig roots as food from under
the water. After time, however, he
was allowed greater liberty and bet
tered his condition by trading with
the natives on the mainland, travelling,
naked as he was, over Texas for many
leagues of territory, and exchanging
shells and various articles used on the
coast for skins and other inland pro-
ducts. Thus, for six years. he invol-
UNFAIRLY made his home at Malhado
Island, for thus he named the place of
his misfortune.
After these years of captivity he
finally succeeded in escaping from his
captors with OviedO, the only white
survivor remaining on the island. He
went down the coast, passing four large
rivers, and finally entered a bay, which
he supposed was the Espiritu Santo,
discovered in 1919. He soon fell in
with three or four persons belonging
to the original party, and these four
are the only ones who were known to
have survived of the 800 that had
sailed from Florida.
Alvar Nurez and his party, having
learned through terrible hardships to
accommodate themselves to life in the
wilderness, made the first extensive eX-
plorations in Texas and in the adjoin-
ing country that is known to have been
made by Europeans. His account of
their wanderings was republished a
number of times in Spain, under var
iety of titles, and was also translated
into Italian, French and England.
Another narrative exists in the report
given by the party to the audiencia in
Mexico, in 1886. Although both state
ments bear the evident imprint of the
fullest good faith, they were written
from memory and contain many mac
curacies. They agree in essentials,
however, in regard to the adventures
of the party, but there is wide differ
ence in dates, directions and distances.
These reports are fragmentary and
ever contradictory, but they throw a
priceless light on the condition of
Texas then.
AS the SpaniardS do not speak OF
crossing the Mississippi River, as they
certainly would had they noticed it.,
MalhadO Island must, therefore, have
been to the westward of the steam.
Their location of the Bay of Espiritu
Santo is fixed by certain great sand
hills, which Oviedo mentions as prom
inent landmarks, and at the present
day the United States coast survey
speaks of the sand mound as rising
from an almost level prairie region at
the bay, which now bears the name of
Espiritu SantO. This from the internal
evidence of those early narratives
shows that either this bay or'San An
tonic has the best claim of being the
initial point from which explorations
began into the Texan Territory. The
journey of these pioneer explorers be-
gan In the summer of 1886, when
Nurez and Oviedo took advantage of
their masters annual visit to the in

pears for food, to make their escape.

A SPANISH EXPLORER.
The First European to- Lead Through
Texas

The first European to make extern
sive explorations in Texas was Alvar
Nurez, who has left record of his
wanderings which appeared in Spain
i'm 1887, and which has been used to
advantage by III. b. Bancroft i'm his
History of the North Mexican States
and Texas" He was one of the sur
vivors of a party of Spaniards number
ing $40 men, besides the officers, who
for six weeks sailed in frail craft,
tempest-tossed and suffering terribly
from thirst, hunger. exposure and at
tacks from warlike Indians, until early
in November, 1887, they finally strand
ed on an island off the coast of Texas.
Emaciated and weak, the naked sur
vivors were cast up by the waves to
fall into the hands of the savages.
A few of the strongest survivors
were sent to the main land by their
fellows with orders to seek help from
the nearest Spaniards. The remainder
were soon reduced from eighty to

ROSE LEAVES.

Under the feet of the years,
Hidden from life and light,
With its burden of grief and tears,
The past has gone from my sight,
Leaving only dream,
And lonely grave by the sea,
And "A song with love for theme,
Set TO a minor key.
Like one who gathers the leaves
OF a fragrant rose that is dead,
And signs as he sadly grieves
At the life and beauty fled,
So |, from the buried past
Call back in its bloom a rose,
And wonder If dreams that last
Are the best that man ever knows.
have only n dream in my heart,
And face that is now i'm my eyesl
Can a new loves smile impart
The love that never dies?
Can rose leaves withered and dried
BE stronger than flesh TO hold
The love new love would buy,
With it's coin OF beauty's gold?
In my heart lives only dream,
And the ghost of past that is dead,
In my eyes the living eyes CLEAN,
BY fleeing desire fed,
But the withered leaves in my hand
Are sweet with the roses breath,
And voice from the shadow land
Is stronger than life or death.

horses, and after driving in and closing
the gate determined not to get into the

barn. He was in the act of taking down
the check rein, when two immense bull
dogs which are terrors to the neighbor
hood, dashed over the gate and bit the
horses heels. The frightened animal
dashed forward, throwing Whitehead
beneath its feet, trampling upon him and
infiictlng painful injuries to the right eal
and side of the head, and the buggy pass
ing over him left ugly cuts and scars OF
the right side, limb, shoulder and collar

managers of the important lines leading
south from Washington, and concluded
negotiations for one of the most important

rangements embrace the formation Of three
southern lines in order to overcome the ex-
pense and delay by the numerous transfers
incident to the shipment of freight from the
cities and interior points i'll the south destined
to points north reached by the Pennsylvania

The hree through freight lines are ar
ranged to cover all the important southern
territory reached by the roads out of Wash

run via the Virginia Midland railroad and
the Richmond & Danville; the second to run
via the Atlantic Coast line and the third via
mouth. Each of the companies interested
will furnish its quota of cars, and the lines as
established will provide an all-rail connec-
ton which will undoubtedly have great in
